Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 16, 1912,.

Patented Feb. 3, 1914.

Serial No. 684,209.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DORSEY S. WEBB, a citizen of the United States,residing at Traverse City, in the county of Grand Traverse and State ofMichigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of whichthe following is a specification.

The general object of the invention is to utilize the heat which passesthrough a chimney for heating rooms; and to this end the inventionconsists in certain improved constructions, arrangements, andcombinations of devices, which will be fully described hereinafter, andthen pointed out in the claim.

Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodimentof my invention of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which;

Figure 1 is a view partly in side elevation and vertical section of oneembodiment of the invention showing it arranged to utilize the heatpassing through a chimney which is shown in vertical section, forheating adjacent rooms. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of Fig. 1.

In the drawings a indicates the chimney and b?; the rooms between whichthe chimney extends vertically. The plates 55 are set into openings inthe opposite faces of the chimney a which are presented to the rooms Z)band are secured at their upper ends by the angular-shaped flanges 6-6which extend over the lower faces and inner sides of the bricks at theupper ends of the openings and form benches or supports for the saidbricks and those which they support. The flanges 77 at the lower endsand opposite sides of the plates 55 lap the lower ends and oppositesides of the opening, as shown in Fig. 2.

The radiators 88 may be of any preferred contour and they are hereinshown to present the appearance of rectangular shaped boxes whose outerfaces are preferably but not necessarily plain. The baflies 9.-9 in theradiators 88 as shown in Fig.

passage through the chimney interrupted so that. the heated gases risingto the lower dampers are caused thereby to pass through the lower flues1010 upwardly through the radiators 88, and then through the upper flues10-10 before they again pass into the chimney a. This directing of thegases through the radiators results in the heating of the latter and theconsequent heating of the air in the rooms b?). When it is desired toheat only one room, for instance the room on the left in Fig. 1, thedampers are turned until they close the openings 1212.

The heated gases now rising through the chimney will strike the lowerdamper 13 and pass through the radiator and the fines 1010. When thedampers on the right in Fig. 1 are arranged similarly to those on theleft, both radiators will be out 01f and the gases passed in the usualmanner through the chimney. The damper rods 1414 which turn the dampers13 may be of any approved or ordinary construction and arranged so thatthey may be readily turned to operate the dampers to which they arefixedly secured.

Although I have shown an arrangement, whereby, two rooms may be heatedsimultaneously by the heated gases passing through a chimney which islocated between the rooms, it must be understood that I do not intend tolimit myself to this particular arrangement of parts since it will bemanifest that the device may be used equally as well with a chimney withwhich communication can be made from one room only, in which event, ofcourse, it Will be understood that but one radiator will be employed.

WVhat I claim as neW is: v

5 In a heating apparatus of the class described, the combination of apair of plates adapted to be arranged in opposite openings in a chimney,radiators arranged in spaced relation to the front faces of said plates,

10 lines directed through said plates and connected to the opposite endsof the radiators,

and dampers for controlling the passages through the fines and adaptedto cooperate to control the passage through the chimney.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature 15 in presence 01 tWoWitnesses.
